Although it wasn’t the boom everyone expected and won a lot of accolades, the truth is that the public perception is that Death Stranding was moderately successful. Thanks to its arrival on PC, the popularity of Kojima Productions game. In this house we even analyzed the Director’s Cut version for PC, and my colleague Juan was convinced by the proposal. You can read his analysis here.
We now know that the second part is already in development. Hopefully the platforms will be the same as its predecessor. Although I’m not ruling anything out yet. For it to come out on Xbox, yes, I think there should be a graphics engine change for this new project, but that’s just cabal.
Death Stranding 2 is already in development
The confirmation comes from the hand of Norman Reedus, the actor gave life to the protagonist of the first opus, and now in a recent interview with the medium Leo confirms with a brief quote that they are already at work: “We have just started the second”.
During the interview, the actor took the opportunity to share the occasional anecdote about joining the Death Stranding and Silent Hill team.
Guillermo Del Toro, who gave me my first movie, called me and said, “Hey, there’s a guy called Hideo Kojima, he’s going to call you, just say yes.” And I’m like, ‘What do you mean just say yes?’ He’s like, ‘Stop being an asshole, just say yes.’
Then I was in San Diego and Hideo came over with a big group of people, he’s from Tokyo, and he showed me what he was working on, a game called Silent Hill. I was blown away by what he was showing me, and I thought, ‘Yeah, let’s do this.’ It is not the Ms. Pac-Man
; it’s so realistic, it’s so futuristic, it’s so complicated and beautiful, and I was completely blown away.It took me maybe two or three years to complete all the MoCap sessions and everything. It takes a lot of work. And then the game came out, and it won all these awards, and that was huge, so we started the second part of that.
